aceves babip: 1.000

[mauidano]

Gotta love the way the offense came back. Bullpen just fucked it after that.

[SpruceTrap]

Disappointing way to lose but it was a great game. Have a good day everyone! I'm gonna get out of here before people make overemotional judgements based on one game.

[strek1]

Well it didn't take long this year for the Pen to cost us.

[URI]

Youk is no Brooks Robinson.

And looks just like Punto

[wildo7]

for anyone who thought this bullpen might not be that bad

[AimingForYoko]

no game tomorrow

Or the day after that.

[Eck'sSneakyCheese]

That was slightly painful... at least there's tomorrow... oh, shit. right...

[mikeot]

Ugh...

[Trlicek's Whip]

Is it a controversy if they're all bad? I guess the talk will be all about Bard.

Yeah that was my talking point for the local media.

The media should be more insufferably unreadable than usual since this is Bobby Z & Company's first game in 2012 A.T. (After Tito).

[mauidano]

Ballgame. Oh well. Come back on Friday and get em then.

Saturday.

[Nomar813]

Cool. Winning is dumb anyway.

Lose enough games to draft Andrew Luck.

[czar]

Aceves' good results with bad peripherals aren't LUCK, they're because he's a CRAZY MOFO.

[uncannymanny]

We could have sure used Papelbon Bard Bailey someone good there.

[The_Powa_of_Seiji_Ozawa]

I blame Punto.

Youk would of had that! They shouldn't have taken out Adrian Gonzalez in the 9th!


Yes. I'm joking.

[Sprowl]

Punto doesn't make the amazing play at 3B. BABIP doesn't love Alfredo right now.

[Ed Hillel]

That pen setup worked well

The only real problem with the pen is a lack of overall talent.

[TheShynessClinic]

The Tigers walk off song is "This Is How We Do it."

I don't need to say anything else.

[HillysLastWalk]

I wonder how things would have went with Papelbon still around?

Broken record time: losing games through this bullpen could end up sinking us.

[Yazdog8]

Well, awesome. Our bullpen is complete shit.

[Statman]

Why is there an off day tomorrow?

[glennhoffmania]

What did Punto do?

[judyb]

for anyone who thought this bullpen might not be that bad

They didn't really do much worse than the Tigers All Star closer.

[bankshot1]

Damn where is Byung Hyun-Kim when you need him?

[moondog80]

What happened? Punto misses on an easy play or a hard one?

[bosockboy]

Why is there an off day tomorrow?

Really? It's been that way forever.

[ngruz25]

I have faith that the bullpen won't be awful every game, but there is not a single pitcher back there with a track record of success that's longer than a season or two. It's a whole lot of conjecture. The worst case scenario is total disaster, but I still think the odds of that happening are in our favor. I hope.

[Jed Zeppelin]

The only real problem with the pen is a lack of overall talent.

Yep, not enough good, strikeout stuff back there.

[bosockboy]

What happened? Punto misses on an easy play or a hard one?

Not playable....it was a screamer.

[ichirob4ichiro]

All in all, pretty well played game. I could watch another 161 of those.

[wildo7]

well then, season saved

[O Captain! My Captain!]

hard play

[OnWisc]

As far as cliches go, "no lead is safe" seems like it might be applicable this season.

[Frank, Fenway]

He kinda broke the wrong way for a second

[Sprowl]

Is that right? I'm listening on the Radio. How the fuck is he supposed to pitch?

Melancon's location was fine, velocity 92-3, but his stuff looked very flat and hittable.

[mikeford]

Maybe Cleveland will trade us Derek Lowe. He can close games right?

[Laser Show]

About as good as we could've hoped for outside of the outfield defense and the bullpen.

[Remagellan]

On the bright side, RG33 won't have to worry about finding a way to talk his wife into naming his new baby Alfredo.

(I hope all went well with the delivery.)

[LeoCarrillo]

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single. step. in poo.

[mauidano]

Not a great way to start for the 'pen. Still believe they're good enough. Very small sample size, give it a chance. Just love the way we didn't fold in the top of the 9th against the best closer in the game. Build on that and let's get 'em on Saturday. Fox TV. McCarver & Buck probably....my head hurts already.

[Domer]

Now I have to explain to my neighbors why I just uttered a string of progressively worse expletives.

[Remagellan]

All in all, pretty well played game. I could watch another 161 of those.

As long as the result was reversed, I agree.

[InsideTheParker]

All in all, pretty well played game. I could watch another 161 of those.

Me, too, but I need to have at least 94 different endings.

[ichirob4ichiro]

As long as the result was reversed, I agree.

Well I'll save you the suspense, don't watch when Verlander's pitching.

[Andrew]

Bullpen looked pretty lackluster, eh guys?

[deconstruction]

And the ex-MFYs fuck it up in the end.

Why is there an off day tomorrow?

It's cruel and inhuman.

What happened? Punto misses on an easy play or a hard one?

It would have been a brilliant diving backhand stop, followed by a crawl to 3B to complete the force and a tag-out at home to complete the double play.
